Re: kubota vs. Kioti?

I put a down payment on it until Monday so I can talk to an accountant as to what way to go for the sales tax because I will be using it with my wife's small businesses but that wasn't the only reason I purchased it for so I need to find out if I can still have the tractor in my name or does it have to be in the businesses name. The dealer told me to check with my accountant and then he'll fill the firm out accordingly. If we end up tax exempt then that be close to a $2300 savings.

Re: kubota vs. Kioti?

This is my first tractor so I'm new to everything and from what I've read I'm thinking I will want a top n tilt so I went with the two rear remotes. My question would be what else could I use a third remote in the back for? I have the room for it and it'll only be another $450 installed if I call tomorrow to have them order another one. Just not sure what else I'd need it for.

Congrats on the new tractor! Just read through this thread for the first time. Tractor shopping can be tough especially when choosing between such good tractors like you were. By the way I think $450 is a pretty good price for the remote!

I went with three rear remotes, but left off the third function which I am now regretting. I got the Top and Tilt and use it with a Land Pride HR3584, next size up from this in the You Tube. I also wish I had gotten at least on rear remote with float.

One example would be for Top N Tilt and lets say an angle cylinder on a back angle blade. So you could easily adjust your angle of attack of the materiel, the side grade, and also the overall angle of the blade. Another example a Box Blade. Top and Tilt for angle of attack to the ground, the side angle to make a crown in the road, and hydraulic ripper control on the Box Blade itself. These are just some examples. Of course these things can be done manually with the provided jackscrews but much easier to do on the fly with hydraulics and not all of the getting on and off the tractor to make many small adjustments.
